Chapter 112: Strange Guest

Zheng He, that's fucking Zheng He.

Chen Kan's excited mood gradually calmed down, and a smirk appeared on his face.

It seems that the danger of almost being hit and killed just now seems insignificant.

It's just that in his heart, he is already constantly imagining to swim in the sea.

Great navigation, steel giants, fire suppression, enclosure as king, all countries come to the dynasty, and write a prosperous chapter......

That's the ultimate romance of men.

But...... Zheng He doesn't even have the consciousness to go to the West now, how can this be done?

The great pioneer navigator must quickly find a way to let him go to the West, it will be too late!

Chen Kan has never been more anxious than he is now.

There was a voice in his heart that kept urging him.

Go back to see Zhu Di and ask to build a treasure ship to go to the West!

Spices, gold, silver, copper, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and peppers are all shipped back to Daming!

Go to overseas enclosures, start the era of the Great Colony, and pack all the wealth overseas!

Chen Kan hurriedly turned around and walked back.

But as I walked, my mind suddenly calmed down.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Why did you suddenly lose your bearings?"

He shook his head to calm himself down.

Chen Kan realized that his anger and youth disease had flareed up again.

"No way!"

Chen Kan paused.

Now that the country is not stable, he rashly asked Zhu Di to go to the West, but Zhu Di may not agree.

Besides, Grandpa Tai still has a ban on not going to the sea.

"Gotta plan well, gotta plan well."

Chen Kan was pacing in place, and suddenly saw Zheng He, which made Chen Kan feel a little out of shape for a while.

But such a big thing as going to the West is definitely not something that can be done by saying a few words casually in front of Zhu Di.

The investment is too big, and it is difficult to see the return in the short term, not to mention Zhu Di, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree.

We must find a way to let Zhu Di see the huge benefits contained in the sea trade, and we must let Zhu Di understand that the sea is full of opportunities and wealth.

It is also necessary to make the entire Ming Dynasty profit from it.

This wealth cannot be allowed to slip into the hands of a few.

Not to mention that the maritime history of the Ming Dynasty should not be as anticlimactic as it was in history.

There are also the wealthy clans on the southeast coast, and they must find a way to prevent them from monopolizing maritime trade.

There's so much to do, so much to plan.

Thinking of these things, Chen Kan couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky in his heart.

Fortunately, fortunately, he traveled to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the civil officials have not yet formed a strong political group, the wealthy families in Jiangnan have not yet controlled the court, and the monarchy is still strong enough.

It's still too late, and he still has enough time to fill in those historical problems.

Forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, Chen Kan completely calmed down.

If you want to open up a great voyage, the first thing to bear the brunt of is Zhu Di's attitude.

In history, Zhu Di gradually understood that the profits of maritime trade were considerable in the process of constantly raiding his home.

The ministers who were confiscated by him were not high.

But they all have two things in common, first, they are all Jiangnan people, and second, each of them has collected thousands of family fortunes when they raid their homes.

So, where does the money come from?

To put it bluntly, Zhu Di in history sent Zheng He to the West to make money, and as for those with good deeds, it is pure nonsense that Zheng He went to the West to find Zhu Yunwen.

If you really want to find someone, who will go with such fanfare, isn't that a fool's style?

Secretly find a knife and never suffer from it!

This is the right way to find someone?

If it is not to make wealth, to the financial situation of the early Ming Dynasty.

Where did Zhu Di get the money to fight the war, where did he get the money to repair the Yongle Grand Ceremony, where did he get the money to dredge the Grand Canal, and where did he get the money to build Beijing?

Of course, stretching the timeline of history, Zhu Di has done a good enough job.

But for Chen Kan, who stands on the shoulders of giants, these are far from enough.

There is not only wealth overseas, but also countless vast lands, and those lands are the places where wealth can be continuously generated.

Not to mention anything else, the spice island in the South Seas, the copper island in Luzon, the silver mountain in the Japanese Kingdom, and the American continent where even the rivers flow with golden sand, the wealth of these places alone is enough to make the national strength of the Ming Dynasty rise countless steps.

In Chen Kan's cognition, the essence of the Great Voyage is naked plunder.

The law of the jungle, enclosing land everywhere, and the law of the jungle is the correct way to open the voyage.

Instead of being like Zhu Di, he honestly sent people to open up business routes to do business.

Although he could make a lot of money, the result was only to enrich the king's treasury after all.

It is of no benefit to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Age of Discovery, everyone who went to sea was a robber.

Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith are good, and gentleness, courtesy, and frugality are also good.

But... Times have changed.

These things are no longer applicable to the current tide of history.

In this case, Da Ming has the most powerful army in the world, has the wisest king in the world, and has such a hanger as him.

Why can't Da Ming become the most powerful one on the sea - a robber!

......

......

On the Qinhuai River, there has always been a legend of a strange guest.

It is said that the guest was very young, he always had a faint smile on his face, and his attitude was so gentle that it was like a spring breeze.

Unlike other veterans of the flowers, he began to move his hands and feet against the artists on the ship as soon as he came up, but he would maintain a social distance from the artists.

He always politely told the performers that he wanted to see the kind of performances with a strong artistic atmosphere.

He is very generous, and he never stays too much on the painting boat after watching every performance.

The silver nude he left behind was what he called the nourishment of art.

After a long time, the artists on the Qinhuai River were eager to meet this strange guest.

But this guest didn't come to Qinhuai River very often, so many artists were not allowed to enter.

Today is a very ordinary day, and the hot and humid weather in the south of the Yangtze River makes the artists on the Qinhuai River not very interested.

Until......

He was spotted by a woman leaning on the string of a boat looking for self-pity.

"Childe, on the flower boat today, there is a palm dance performance, please go on the boat and take a look."

He raised his head, exuding charming elegance all over his body, shook his head slightly, and responded, "No." ”

Then he flicked his sleeves, like a fairy who came out of the painting, and slowly passed by the painting boat named Qiuyue.

At last... I got into a small boat called West Window.

"Metallographic jade, tiger and dragon."

The woman sighed.

"Damn, dancing in the palm of your hand, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's money, he didn't bring enough money......"

Chen Kan was a little stupid, he would have brought more money if he had known.

"Dancing in the palm of your hand, Zhao Feiyan, it's a pity."

Chen Kan smacked his mouth regretfully and raised his arm skillfully.

A good-looking woman stepped forward to remove the big hair on Chen Kan's body and intimately put on clogs for him.

Chen Kan walked to the inner room and found a spare seat to sit down.

After a while, another woman served Chen Kan fragrant tea and asked, "Childe, what kind of music do you want to listen to today?" ”

Chen Kan picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, then frowned, what kind of tea is so unpalatable?

"I think the fairy happy dance last time was good."

Chen Kan squinted his eyes and said lightly.

The so-called fairy happy dance, originally called "Taiping Drum", was originally a solemn and elegant court drum music.

It's just that Chen Kan called it a fairy happy dance.

As soon as Chen Kan's voice fell, two lightly dressed women with bare feet and waists carried two small drums onto the stage used for the performance.

The musician behind the screen is in place.

"Zheng Zheng~"

The graceful sound of the zither music kicked off the prelude to the happy dance of the gods.

There was a sound of the piano in unison, and the woman's snow-white soft wattle slapped heavily on the drum.

"Knock ~ Knock knock!"

The drum beat is rapid, and the drum sound is deafening, making people feel as if they are in the middle of a grand and solemn court feast.

"Knock ~ Knock knock!"

As the beat of the drum changes from rapid to soft to stopped, the two women place their drums on the drum stand.

Behind the screen, the sound of the piano flowed like a clear spring, as if to cleanse the solemn intent in the drumming just now.

The sound of the piano stopped, and the two women faded from their bodies and jumped lightly on the drum, and the drum beat under their feet followed the woman's dance, sometimes brisk, sometimes hurried.

The woman stepped barefoot on the drum, only to hold her waist and twist a moving melody.

The longing for a hidden place looms.

Chen Kanyu's eyes widened at the same time as the other guests in the painting boat.

When the grand court music meets the graceful and enchanting, a very contrasting refreshment is so strong that it is suffocating.

"The gods are also confused when they see it~"

"It's extreme, it's extreme!"

Chen Kan couldn't help but sigh, and instantly attracted the echo of other color embryos.

As the woman jumped high, the light veil on her feet swirled into a butterfly in mid-air, and this fairy happy dance also came to an end.

At the end of the dance, the two women made a blessing to Chen Kan.

"Good job, reward!"

Two silver nudes flew out of his hands, and the two women stretched out their sleeves and rolled them up gently, and the silver nudes disappeared.

......

helped the development of a wave of art, and Chen Kan melancholy went down to the west window.

The fairy happy dance is already like this, how amazing should the palm dance that makes the world praise and sigh and can't see it?

"Art is really a money-burning business, it's a pity!"

Chen Kan was a little regretful, if it weren't for the fact that the fees of Qiuyue Tower were too expensive, he would have to taste it.

With some emotion, Chen Kan slowly walked along the Qinhuai River.

The Great Voyage and the Palm Dance were constantly intertwined in his mind, making him a little entangled in which to think about first.

Passing by Qiuyue Tower, Chen Kan stopped.

Because he found that there was a gaze on the Qiuyue Lou painting boat that was commenting on him.

"Lord Chen, please come on board for a while."

Chen Kan followed the prestige, and saw Xu Jingchang, the Marquis of Wuyang, leaning on the string of the boat, holding a wine glass in one hand, with an elusive look on his face.

But there were no women or subordinates with him, and it seemed that they had come here to wait for him.

Chen Kan has always only been courteous to women, but when he saw that the woman leaning on the string of the boat had become a gentleman, he suddenly lost interest.

"Hou Ye is so Yaxing, it's just that the official is busy with official business, and he really can't get out of his body, so please forgive Hou Ye."
